Trojan Vision expands vision
Cable: Student-run station now showing on local stations; new shows added

Three years after Trojan Vision’s first television broadcast, students will finally be able to watch.
The station, which was available in only a handful of campus dorms since it began in 1997, is now broadcast each week night on Channel 8 under the university's new cable system.
With additional broadcasts on Los Angeles City Channel 36 — which are time-delayed one week — the station has the potential to reach
an audience of three million people, said Eric Detwiler, a junior majoring in broadcast journalism and the station's general manager.
The station previously shared Channel 62 with Animal Planet through MediaOne’s cable service.
"Channel 8 is a lot better placement," Detwiler said. “It gives us a lot better exposure.”
Students and faculty living in the local area can now tune in nightly for Trojan Visions season, which began Sept. 18.
Returning programs include “CU(2>USC,” a talk show with local celebrities and prominent Los Angeles figures, “Impact,” the Annenberg School for Communication's weekly news broadcast and "Annenberg TV News,"
a nightly roundup of news, entertainment and sports.
In addition, three new programs have been added to the line up, including “Spirit of Troy," featuring the university’s marching band; "Doing It for Reel,” a movie preview program; and "In Real Time,” a “fly on the wall" documentary-based reality show.
Such new programming is largely due to the increase in staff size, Detwiler said.
This year there are more than 200 staff members — up from 15 in 1997 — allowing the station to broadcast programs more regularly than it would otherwise, he said.
“There is a lot of talent,” he said. "I am proud of everything we do here.”

Hundreds volunteer for JEP positions
Service: Increase in volunteers reflects growing trend of community activism at university; students to act as mentors
By ROBB FERRIS

The Joint Educational Project may have trouble accommodating the excess number of students who have applied for its volunteer programs this semester.
About 1,200 students have signed up for tutorial and educational programs in various Los Angeles Unified schools, an increase from the nearly 900 who participated last year.
However, the project allotted for only 800 positions this semester.
“We were flooded (with students) in the first few days,” said Dick Cone, executive director of JEP.
“We had to set caps on some of the classes early on. We closed one of the courses on the second day of signups and we have never had to do that before.”
The JEP has offered USC students the opportunity to teach interdisciplinary programs at elementary schools in the Los Angeles area for three decades.
Some university classes cite it as a mandatory requisite for the completion of the course.
While JEP will have significant difficulty placing 400 extra students, they are not turning students away. The increase of applicants is seen by many local educators as beneficial for the schools in the area.
“The students (that volunteer for JEP,) provide a service that I cannot always provide, and assist the teachers with services that they would otherwise be unable to provide," said Howard Lappin, principal of Foshay Learning Center on Harvard Boulevard.

Students support Traveler throughout controversy
Mascot: Mixed opinions on trademark dispute; horse knocks down man at game
By BRENDAN LOY

Fans at Saturdays football game were split in their reactions to the controversy surrounding USCs mascot, Traveler, as some fans wore white in response to a plea by the horse’s owner, while others were either opposed to the owner’s trademark claims or unaware of the situation.
Patricia Soukko, who owns the horse, is battling the university for rights to the name and likeness of Traveler. The dispute is pending before the Trademark Trial and
Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Meanwhile, Traveler’s name and the Traveler tradition took a backseat to the horse itself when Traveler accidentally knocked over a bystander while galloping around the sidelines after USCs third touchdown.
Traveler knocked the unidentified man to the ground, but the horse did not fall. The man appeared to be unhurt, quickly getting back up and returning to the spot where he had been standing previously. A few minutes later, he was able to walk unassisted to the other end of the field.
Ardeshir Radpour, Traveler's rider, appeared to be signaling the man to move out of the way as he rode toward him, but the man apparently did not see him. When Traveler

ran the man over, the crowd reacted with a collective gasp that momentarily drowned out the band's rendition of “Conquest” in parts of the stadium, but it was quickly apparent that the man was safe.
The crowd’s reaction to the controversy over Traveler’s name was more enduring, however.
Despite the plea issued Thursday by Soukkos attorney asking fans to wear white in support of Traveler, neither the student sec-
tion in particular nor the stadium at large were uniformly white. But enough fans complied with the request that a slightly whiter-than-usual tinge was noticeable.
“That’s why 1 picked this shirt today,” said Cameron Mitchell, who wore a white T-shirt to the game. “1 don’t see any reason why, just because of copyrighting, someone should sue just to keep the name."
Mitchell, a freshman majoring in creative writing and psychology.
seemed to side with the university, asserting that Soukko is simply looking for money in her bid for the trademark. But most importantly, he said that Traveler is a wonderful mascot who should be protected, which is why he was wearing the shirt
On the other hand, Lynn Bossange, a sophomore majoring in fine arts and another Traveler supporter who wore white, said she supports the family and asserted that USC is the greedy party.
“I think the owners should keep Traveler and the name to themselves, because the school's just trying to make money or some kind of profit off of it," Bossange said.
